I think I drove right by Pacific City, TBH. I had driven to Tillamook from Portland, and then was just winding my way up the coast. I stopped in Cannon Beach and got a hotel room, and earnestly asked the guy at the desk "So where around here can I see a classic calendar-photo view of Oregon?" and he stared at me for a minute before realizing I was serious, and naive. He was like "You are literally in the town where they're all taken. Head up the road to Ecolas Point State Park."
@Geojoek@mastodon.hams.social I think that's the park I want to spend some time hiking at. :) Pacific City has the nice view from the tiny beach. Pelican Pub has a location right there which is perfect. But Cannon Beach is the more famous place... The whole Oregon coast is a nice place to road trip. Just before my in-laws moved up there my wife and I did a road trip from SF up the coast of NorCal and all of Oregon until we hit WA, then came inland for the drive home. Good times! Any coast is usually good to visit.
